10. SOUND

Sound is produced by vibrating objects, and it travels through various mediums such as gases, liquids, and solids. The process of hearing involves the eardrum sensing vibrations, which are then communicated to the brain. Loudness and pitch are determined by the amplitude and frequency of the sound respectively, with excess noise contributing to pollution and potential health issues.
